Improve V our Kitchen
What have you done in the last five
years to improve your kitchen? The
question was put to a number of wo¬
men in this city who are known to
take an intelligent interest in pro- 1
b , ems ()f home managt , men t. Nearly
ha]f q{ thrfse j nterrogatcd looked overt
thdr kitcheng thoughtfully and found
themseelveg unable t0 , K)int out any ;
important progress. i
Of thc remainder, a surprisingly
larK( , porcentaet , talUed with enthu¬
siasm about kitchen cabinets. If local
experience can be taken as a criterion,
the cabinet idea is helping materially 1
to lift things out of the old rut and
rescue home workers from a great
deal of needless drudgery. This is re¬ '
fleeted in the remarkable increase j
noted by merchants in the volume of
sales.
Clear thinking women who have
sought to analyze the kitchen cabinet
and its logical place in the domestic
scheme offer some interesting and
Perhaps unexpected conclusions,
They find that the cabinet, in addi
tion to its facilities for storage, its
v 'treous work surface and other con
veniences, has a far reaching effect,
” n the whole chain of °P erations en
tenn * ,nt ° the preparatipn of food. t
Because the cabinet is a natural
work centor - use of it almost invar
results in smoother operation
and orderly arrangement throughout K 1
.. k K j. ‘tcnen. r u„ ,
Then by its very nature the cabinet
insures a high degree of cleanliness
and sanitation accompanied by an act¬
ual saving of food ingredients. The
net result is better food at lower cost.
Though its beauty of design and
finish it encourages harmonious and
colorful effects in the arrangement of
kitchens.
Most important of all, its remark¬
able step-saving convenience gives a
much greater margin of time which
fortunate owners may devote to a
broadened circle of interests. In. addi¬
tion to its many practical advantages,
the kitchen cabinet is bringing more j
sunshine into the lives of women, a
fact which is fully appreciated only
through actual use.
